ASEAN-EU university network programme (AUNP) (economic
cooperation with Asia)
|
|
General
objectives
|
The
AUNP has been designed to enhance higher education cooperation
between the European Union and ASEAN, and to promote regional
integration within ASEAN. The programme will serve as
a framework for a broad range of activities aiming to
promote mutual awareness and understanding, exchange of
experience and knowledge between the two regions. The
programme comprises the following three components for
which grant support may be offered:
- AUNP common applied research,
- AUNP human resource development,
- AUNP curriculum development.
More specifically, the ASEAN-EU university network programme
will provide grants to:
- facilitate partnership projects between higher education
institutions in European Union Member States and the eligible
ASEAN countries in order to initiate/strengthen coordinated
and sustainable relations in the field of higher education,
- promote joint academic activities, such as the creation
of common curricula and courses/ modules, and the development/improvement
of course material,
- upgrade the skills of postgraduate students, academic
and administrative staff through the provision of in-country
and overseas training, and through the exchange of experience,
- facilitate reciprocal access to higher education,
- encourage mutual knowledge and recognition of study
programmes; agreements on credit transfer and mutual degree
recognition,
- foster collaborative applied research focusing on fields
of study of demonstrable EU-ASEAN mutual interest, with
the subsequent sharing of research output and publications,
- increase the availability of information about the higher
education systems in the European Union and ASEAN,
- raise awareness of opportunities in the higher education
sector and develop links that can ultimately lead to mutually
beneficial economic cooperation.

institution).
In this regard applicants must fully comply with the following
two criteria:

graduate level of higher education leading to a recognised
qualification in their own country; they may be called
a ‘university’ or bear some other relevant name (e.g.
‘polytechnic’, ‘college’, ‘institute’, etc.),
- they must be recognised and their degrees accredited
by the responsible national authority in their own country;
institutions preparing students for foreign degrees (e.g.
those operating as a branch or under a franchising agreement)
are not eligible for support,
- have their headquarters within the European Union (Austria,
Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland,
Italy, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, The Netherlands,
United Kingdom), or any of the following eligible ASEAN
countries: Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao
People’s Democratic Republic, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore,

- be directly responsible for the preparation and management
of the project, not acting as an intermediary,
- have stable and sufficient sources of finance to ensure
the continuity of their institution throughout the project
and, if necessary, to play a part in financing it,
- to be able to demonstrate their experience and capacity
to manage activities corresponding in scale and complexity
with those for which a grant is requested. Private institutions
that have been registered for a minimum period of five
years may participate on the same basis as public institutions,
provided that they are non-profit-making.
The AUNP is also open to:
- established networks of higher education institutions,
provided they have their headquarters in one of the eligible
countries,
- regional institutions of higher education not belonging
to any national system but formally recognised by one
of the AUNP eligible countries.
